Stealth Phones

The BenQ Black Box

Imagine a mobile phone design so slick that you'd have to call it erotic. That's about the only word that describes the BenQ Black Box. Essentially, it's a black box (ha ha) with no buttons and a graphic design that changes depending on which gadget you want to use.

The Design Directory sees this design as the next big thing, "Instead of BenQ's mobile phone-type idea, what we're looking at, folks, is the next generation of mobile device. The one that will change literally everything for quite a lot of people. Every tech editor and gadget fan has been preoccupied for the last year with products like the fabled next generation video Ipod . The gorgeous Onyx concept from Pilotfish and Synaptics treads similar ground. It seems to be all about growing the screen in your pocket."
